A new Battlefield 3 gameplay trailer shows off a glimpse of gameplay in DICE's upcoming military shooter sequel (thanks Krisz). The clip is brief and the cuts are very rapid, but this provides the first proper look at the game in action. Also, there are some Battlefield 3 screenshots on BF3Blog from German magazine Gamestar (thanks VG247). On a semi-related note, GameInformer.com has a video of a DICE studio tour. Finally, DICE announces they are offering the game's Back to Karkand DLC as a preorder incentive, revealing the game carries a $59.99 USD price tag:

Wow, this new $60 pricetag trend for PC games has changed the way I buy games now. I was so excited for this one but I guess I'll be playing BC2 a bit more until I get some kind of deal as I refuse to give in to this new pricing bullshit.
